When he’s not helping elect Democrats across America, you can find Matt Caban working on his lightsaber skills. A practitioner of the art of beat boxing since 1999, Matt believes in balancing old school and new school campaigning techniques.

The force awoke in Matt during the fall of 2012 when he joined Organizing for America-Florida. Following an exhilarating victory, Matt joined Oklahoma City-based firm Tilley & Nichols Consulting as Field Director during the 2014 cycle. He focused on targeted State House and Senate races. Earlier in 2015, Matt aided Freedom Oklahoma in a successful effort to defeat 18 anti-LGBT bills in the Oklahoma legislature. He most recently served as the Oklahoma Democratic Party’s Technology Director.

Prior to entering the world of campaigns, Matt was an award-winning journalist with The Oklahoman, The Shawnee News-Star and Eastword News. Matt counts Russell Westbrook, Congressman Tom Cole and John 5 of Marilyn Manson among his favorite interview subjects.

Jaime wants to live in a world filled with digital innovation, intelligent and useful wearable tech, and long hiking trails to spend countless hours exploring with her puggle, Scarlet.

As a digital strategist with more than 12 years of experience in Democratic politics, she’s worked for the White House, Obama for America, Brad Pitt’s Make It Right foundation (and more) creating lasting and innovative digital infrastructures. She was featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, had Maya Angelou read a poem that she wrote, she co-authored the Final Report of the International Women Leader’s Global Security Summit (a conference featuring female heads of state and government tackling issues ranging from international security to climate change), and she wrote her first book, Biting Back at International Law, at the age of 25.

When she’s not at her computer learning a new language, you can find her teaching girls to code with the Girls Who Code program, baking high-fat gluten-full desserts, exploring nature’s wonders, or binge-watching Dr Who on Netflix.
